Front Helper Springs for a 2000 Jeep Wrangler TJ Sahara with Sno-Way Snowplow

Question

Question:

Im looking to enhance the front end of my 2000 TJ because of my plow it dips when the plow is on, especially as I go over bumps. I am considering either The Timbren SES TJFTJ or the Coil SumoSprings Custom Helper Springs CSS-1168F. I thought about the Air Helpers, but question the durability in cold and under the plow load. Recommendations? Also, have a hitch on the back...dont tow a lot, but wondered if it might help even things out when plowing to put the SumoSprings on the back as well. As you can see from the pic, with the plow frame work on, it sits fairly even, but add the plow, and it drops.

For your 2000 Jeep Wrangler (TJ) I recommend Timbren front helper springs # TJFTJ. These springs will provide better support than the Coil SumoSprings. Air bags could be used, the durability is not an issue, but for this application I find air bags to be unnecessary. They require maintenance, you have to add and remove the air compared to the Timbren springs that require nothing after the initial installation.

Since the load of the plow is only at the front you would not need anything to level the rear. And there are no Timbren or SumoSprings that will fit the rear, only air bags. If you go with air bags then I recommend Firestone, # F4157.

Since the pin weight of your camper is 2.1k, I recommend going with the LoadLifter 5000 opposed to the 7500. While technically there is not reason you couldn't use the 7500 kit, it really is not necessary for a camper like yours. Generally the…

Both the Roadmaster and Blue Ox tow bars are great options. But if it was my decision to make I would go with the Blue Ox Avail part #BX7420 as we have found that the Blue Ox tow bars are a little easier to connect and disconnect from. Also this tow…

Hi John, Sadly SmartPlug does not offer the female end of the SM22YB as a separate replacement part. If that end is damaged, the complete SmartPlug Angled RV Power Cord, part #SM22YB, would need to be replaced. The cord does come with a 1 year…
